However, if your intention was to purchase the Xiaomi Pad 8, I am sorry to inform you that the company has increased the pricing of all variants of the product. The device was launched in the month of March 2026; however, now all versions have become costlier by ₹2,000. Despite the increased pricing, the device comes with specifications that make it worth purchasing.

In fact, memory and storage chip prices have been rising for some time now. Moreover, to cater to the demand from the AI industry, DRAM production is being shifted towards data centers, creating a mismatch in supply and demand of chips used in consumer electronics. It is worth noting that many brands have already raised the prices of their devices.
